  1. You are absolutely correct. The napkins, napkin rings, and place mats set off the white of your dishes in a very nice way,
    Those peanut clusters look scrumptious.

  8. Mornin BJ! I love the filigree hanging ball!!! Girl, I thought at first it was a small ornament, but whoa, when I saw the picture of your window WOW was all I could think. I looks fantastical hanging in your window.

    Also, those white plates of yours look fab no matter what you put with them.

    Now give me one of those peanut clusters and nobody gets hurt! LOL!!!

    Have a blessed day. Brrrrr it's cold here this morning too! However, it's gonna warm up to 57 YIPPY SKIPPY!!!

    One more thing. How do you change the color of your wording on your blog post and the size of the font for your blogging.

    I see a great charger peeking out from under that white plate, too. Now I'll have one of those great looking clusters please...

  20. Me too, BJ...like Rose over at Santamaker's, I think we'll always be left wondering about what we missed out on by not having them in our lives. I think my mom tries to be a good grandmother for the same reason. She lost her mother when she was 11 & she was the oldest. We're blessed to live another day with our kids!
